India started as if it was going to run through its opponents with a record margin. But after taking 5-0 lead in the first quarter, it slowed down its pace and added three goals in the second quarter, one in the third quarter and two in the final quarter.

Besides Gurjit Kaur’s hat-trick, other scorers included Monika(two), Vandana Katariya, Lilima Minz, Navneet Kaur and skipper Rani. Five of Indian goals came from penalty corners, including all four by Gurjit Kaur.
